I grew up on a cattle farm in Northwest Missouri and moved to Kansas City in 2009. I graduated college from the University of Central Missouri. I was raised to have a strong work ethic, help others out, and be honest. I am a sports junkie and bobblehead collector who likes to set professional and personal goals. I am married with 3 dogs.
I'm passionate about connecting good people with great opportunities! Based in the Kansas City metro, my goal is to keep the hiring process as stress-free and straightforward as possible. We work with top companies across the Midwest, and I'm committed to providing a smooth, transparent experience for both candidates and clients.
I own a home in Lakewood, OH that keeps me busy outside of normal business hours. Married to my high school sweetheart and have proudly taken on the role of being Dad to our baby girl, Cecilia, since June 2023.
I graduated from Baldwin Wallace with a BA in Marketing and Communications and have been recruiting in the Information Technology space since 2015. Big fan of all the Cleveland area sports teams and consider myself a foodie (If you reside in the Cleveland, OH, I'd love to hear any restaurant recommendations you might have).
